British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

welp it was fun while it lasted a day…

  • Ajax:
    • armour completely reworked, again
    • sight zoom: 2x / 10x → fixed 6x
    • commander view zoom: 3.01x / 10x → fixed 6x
    • previously the non-first stage ammo had the blow-out ammo, now the the first stage has

Havent even downloaded the update yet lmao

gonna check the new armour again lol

wouldnt even be that bad if the zoom wasn’t 6 and more like 3x

i feel that IRL it would not be a fixed 6X like why

cos of seperate sights have seperate zooms

Gaijin don’t do 1x gunner’s sights, IRL the other zoom option is “unity” (otherwise known as 1x)

Imma be using the CITV alot IG

legit has the same zoom lol

Wait they didn’t even do 1x on the CITV? Lmao

Bet the hull is still made of soft as poo aluminium isn’t it

Upon inspection it’s now all RHA and HHA

IRL it has optical unity (1x) vision, 6x optical magnification, and IIRC up to 4x digital zoom for both. But gaijin don’t do 1x magnification, and IIRC don’t do digital either

I feel like ive seen 1x zoom somewhere

Good to hear.

If they can’t model 1x for reasons, why not just give everything that should have 1x a 2x magnification? It’s actually ridiculous being fixed 6x on gunner AND commander.

They do digital, that is why we have things like this

Not for ground though. They said as much, regarding why the SA and SEP Abrams don’t have their 25x magnification mode

They explicitly do not do digital zoom, IIRC they nerfed the Apache’s zoom because it turned out to be digital. If you think that is digital, then file a bug report about it.

Challenger 1’s commander optic has it.

If you look through rank 1 vehicles, you’ll find a bunch of unmagnified optics are set to 1.8x

Commander optics get 1x where applicable

All sights with zoom poor enough get set by gaijin to br 1.9x-3.5x as default
